A random collection of my silly thoughts- This will include Stuff that may be decidedly OOC and Nonsense that is borderline crackfic. Could be a drabble or a poem or a fortune cookie, who knows what will happen? Certainly not me;) Mostly Chelsie but others too.

Tiny spoiler for Season 5. My attempt to explain about the few vague spoilers we have. Charles Carson finds out about Anna's secret and Elsie Hughes' involvement, which might just tear the relationship between butler and housekeeper apart.

The staff has been decimated, standards are dropping and Charles Carson is getting close to celebrating his thirtieth year in service of the Granthams. When a person from his past pops up uninvited at his party, Elsie Hughes investigates and finds out more about Charles Carson's past. Together Charles and Elsie walk into an unimagined future. AU. Includes OC.

Mr. Carson is ill. While caring for him, Mrs. Hughes makes a startling discovery. She accidentally comes across his diary and is shocked to find that the entries within are addressed to her! Takes place after Series 3 but before Series 4. Revisits all our favorite Chelsie moments from Series 1, 2, and 3. Cover image by brenna-louise!

Mr. Carson tells Mrs. Hughes that he's made the decision to leave Downton Abbey to work at Haxby Park for Lady Mary. Starts with his thoughts during and after that brief conversation, and continues beyond that evening. Story will go AU at some point as changes occur in the relationship between Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes. No S4 spoilers. Winner of a Highclere Award (2014).

CRACKFIC! Now that THE CONCERT episode has aired in the US, I'm reposting this drabble independently. It was originally in my Chelsie drabble collection, but there is no Chelsie here, so... SEASON 4, EPISODE 3(UK) or 2(US) SPOILERS. I wrote this because I needed some humor in my life after seeing the episode.

Charles Carson has become too devoted to his butler's duties, the house in which he works, and propriety in general, to have any concern at all for his fellow man. Can a series of supernatural visits persuade him to alter his ways and to effect his own redemption? Cover image by brenna-louise!

A Christmas-themed series of drabbles to help me count down to the Christmas Special. Each of Santa's reindeer will be loosely associated with one of the downstairs staff and one of their Christmases. I will be updating every day, like an advent calendar. Most chapters are Season 3 or earlier. Any Chapters containing Season 4 Spoilers will have that noted at the very beginning!

Who would guess that one bullet could do so much? An unexpected injury and some desperate circumstances bring Tony and Ziva closer, with the help of a precocious nine year old. AUish. Now complete! Check out the sequel: Knocked Out

OneShot. A conversation between Janeway and Tuvok before Janeway decided to make Chakotay her first officer, promoting an unknown Maquis instead of her most trusted friend to the second most important position on the ship. Why did she do it?

A few weeks after Voyager's return to the Alpha Quadrant, Harry Kim gets a brief glimpse of the real woman who wears the captain's pips and discovers the true depth of her friendship with her first officer. A classic fly on the wall story. Post Endgame
